Will this be returning, or should it be removed from the wiki?

That topic is about largest transaction fees.
This topis is about largest block rewards. I wonder if many small fees have accumulated to create something like 5 BTC.
Since every block so far is exactly 50 BTC + fees, the block with the largest fees is the same block as the largest block rewards. That 180 BTC single transaction fee is nonsense and was probably created for fun or by mistake.
Definitely an outlier: - http://blockchain.info/charts/transaction-fees |

This would be similar to going short on BTC. If the price decreases, you will profit.
That is a pretty short expiration but even so, you aren't giving much of a forward premium to the seller. If you can't find a trade here, you could also try offering it as a call option. - http://wiki.bitcoin-otc.com/wiki/Option_orderse.g., ;;buy 77 btc at 6.75 DWUSD "call option premium 0.01 BTC expires 10Jul2012" Which would be if you found someone that wanted to trade with yuu, you would pay 0.77 BTC (77 contracts X 0.01 BTC) today, and then you have the option of paying $519.75 any time on or before July 10, 2012 to get delivery of the 77 BTC. I've not seen much of this option activity on -otc ... but now that we have BTCrow and ThruCoin (?) escrow methods (when necessary, and Web of Trust making escrow not always needed), options could be something to try. |

[Yeah but... that is 900 times more work
That's a problem? I thought that once software was written to accomplish a task that performing that task 900 more times then didn't cost much more than running it just once. quite frankly I am not sure a service like this will end up with that many users within the foreseeable future. If I donate 1 bitcent it is because I want to add it to my portfoloio (to "follow" the project). If I'm following it, that gives the project owner an invite to contact me (with updates to all contributors). If I'm getting updates or other contact, I'm more likely to add more funds later than if I hadn't "followed" it to begin with. Remember, these are donations. And at this early stage of the game, you need the support of every person who might even thiink sending a bitcent might be a good idea. You gotta build community and setting a high threshold in order to particpate is not the way to do it. I didn't decide, oh ... 2.0 is the minimum so I'll raise my deposit amount, I said screw that and logged off. Because I want to see this project thrive is the only reason I came around here to post my experience. It is great to see this project, ...I just offered my suggestions hoping you'ld consider them. If someone takes the time to provide feedback it is probably important enough to try to understand why they did so. [Update: If nothing else, show an address so I can donate to the project anonymously. That way regardless of the minimum, I can still give 0.01 BTC)] |

Most Popular payout method by number of sales: PayPal (38% of payouts). I wonder if that is because the supply of Dwolla funds wasn't always sufficient? |

I was willing to fund a project with 1.0 BTC, So I went through the sign up process (why ... why people? I'm donating one friggin lousy bitcoin, why is it mandatory that I sign up an account?) And I wait for the confirmation e-mail, and I wait, and I wait. Until ... I check my spam folder. And there it is. (You do have SPF, which is good to see, but for some reason gmail flagged it as spam) But, in the e-mail message I see my password. Thank you for that reminder -- I almost might have forgotten what I had entered for password just a few minutes earlier without that reminder. And now I'm sure that an admin at my ISP or somewhere between BitconiFunding.com's server and my inbox really does appreciate you sharing in clear text the password that I used for this account as well.  So finally, I am logged in, and I see the project I want to fund, I assume that I need some bitcoins in my account, so I click Add Funds. I see some message about PayPal cart navigation, ... but I'm going to assume that will get cleaned up eventually. So then the moment I'm waiting for ... add 1.0 BTC, and ... FAIL. "Minimum ฿2.00 is required." Why? If I just want to give 0.01 BTC even I should be able to donate 0.01 BTC. Right? |

Has anyone ever heard of Intrade.com? Would be interesting to see "pirateat40 defaults before end of 2012" on there.
There's a Bitcoin-powered predictions market, and that's currently the bet statement with the largest wager, by a factor of 2:1 over the next largest: - http://betsofbitco.in/item?id=433 |

Can I follow that 1 coin forever?
BlockChain.info has a Dendogram tree view. Here's the May Bitcionica hack money: - http://blockchain.info/tree/5484758Now what's likely coming are scrapers that take known matches between identity and bitcoin address and provide links between users. Like this: - http://toolongdidntread.com |

I've had a few payments from buyers end up in that same review and they have all cleared within 24hrs(so far)
Why exactly or what they are "reviewing" I have no idea.
I believe that can happen if the buyer is using a PayPal account where there is no bank account linked to it. There are some trades I've done where I was informed in advance by the (trusted) buyer that this would happen -- and sure enough it did get placed "under review" and then in under 24 hours after the transaction the funds were released. I know that SpendBitcoins had the problem recently where they had to re-verify identity, so perhaps PayPal treated it similarly as not having a linked account. |

Expect 10-12 calendar days for Dwolla from Gox
Thanx for the info. For small amounts of btc (1~5btc) how else can I turn that into USD? I've always xfer'd the btc to mtGOX, sold it there and xfer'd it to DWOLLA and from DWOLLA to my US bank. Looking for something a bit faster than what that has become. You can cancel your Dwolla withdrawal request with Mt. Gox, if you need access to those funds sooner. They can be used to buy BTCs, and then those BTCs sold on another exchange where Bitcoins are cashed out to Dwolla quickly (e.g., Camp BX, Intersango, or FastCash4Bitcoins.com). |

Now when I click on Dwolla, I just get a page of text about verified accounts (my Dwolla account is verified) Mt. Gox now has the requirement that you verify your identity with them before you can further add funds from Dwolla. This involves sending to Mt. Gox a color scan of your photo ID. Here's the link that contains the instructions and form (where you upload your scan): - https://mtgox.com/forms/verification - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mtgox#Verified_.28Level_1.29Once your Mt. Gox account shows "verified", then you can add funds from Dwolla. (Others who are transferring for their first time might still be in Dwolla's 30-day probationary period, but it sounds like you won't have to worry about that.) |

Was the wallet encrypted? There's a note on that thread that the tool doesn't work with encrypted wallets. If it was using the encrypted format then we may have to modify it a bit.
Also I see v0.3 which supports compressed public keys was just released, so if your scan was done with a version prior to 0.3, it wouldn't have detected anything if you are running Bitcoin v0.6.x, which uses compressed public keys. |

A few members have asked us to add Moneybookers as a payout option Would you be interested? If not what payout option would you like to see? From the Bitcoin Wiki article (which I've contributed to): Criticism
Moneybookers Terms of Use agreements states "The Company at its sole discretion, reserves the right to close an account of any Customer at any time for any or no reason"[1]. There have been reports of those trading bitcoins for Moneybookers finding their accounts terminated. - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/MoneybookersI don't remember the exact circumstances that prompted me to post that cautionary note but I believe it was something along the lines as what is seen with PayPal (account closed, funds in the account, including those not involved in the trade, frozen -- not immediately returned). However, it'll probably work until the moment it doesn't, so you may get days, weeks or months before anything happens. |

You shouldn't really think of it as 'the stock exchange' - even though one particular company presently has the lion's share of trade.
Since ghostcheck mentioned "companies" it is probably safe to assume the GLBSE market is what is being referred to. Hopefully, ghostcheck, that you take the time to read up to understand exactly what those "companies" are. None (or not most) are "companies" in any legal sense (i.e., not registered as a corporation or LLC). That doesn't mean you can't make money through "investing" in some of those projects, but just be sure to understand that this "stock exchange" is not the same as ones you might already be familiar with. |

After import some of the transactions show n/a as address. What does this mean ?
After "import"? Do you mean after restoring the wallet.dat, or, are you actually importing -- i.e., trying to use pywallet or something to manually import the keys from the old wallet? Also, you might try -upgradewallet, perhaps if there is a data corruption problem that the upgrade to the current format will resolve it? But, make sure to not delete or overwrite your backup from six months ago, just in case. |
